Farm Family Summer Retreat August 4-8 or 6-8 (weekend only), 2010

The Farm is a great place to enjoy life. There is so much to take in, from the beauty of nature to the myriad of dynamic social activities going on all the time.

The summer retreat is designed to give families a way to truly savor the Farm experience, with more time to relax, to build connections, to focus some quality time..

We are making plans for our summer family retreat 2010, and are excited to announce it will have a special theme with Tai-Chi classes, featuring both beginner and advanced instruction.

Stay tuned for more details.

I look forward to hearing from you.
